Coverletter for Avionics Engineer

Dear Sir or Madam,

This is to express my strong desire to apply at AV Flight Systems as an Avionics Engineer.

I graduated from Chalet University in 1982 with First Class Honours in Physics. Since then have held a number of challenging and increasingly responsible engineering positions in the aerospace industries around Europe. For the previous 17 years I have been working at Sasso Transports in Toulouse as a Consultant developing the Alta Simulation project. A simulation program widely use in the aviation industry today.

As you can see from my Curriculum Vitae: I have over 15 years of wide and comprehensive experience in all aspects of the full software life-cycle of critical embedded real-time Space, Aerospace and Avionics On-Board Flight Software applications, from Analysis, Design, Development and Implementation through to rigorous System and Subsystem Integration and Testing.

I am proficient with modern Software Engineering practices, technologies and associated tools. In particular, I have the necessary abilities, skills and high-integrity to design and implement large-scale critical real-time software systems to the highest quality standards, specialising in the use of Ada using object-oriented methods (HOOD, OOA, OOD, UML, CORBA and others). My primary experience is with Ada, from the language's introduction in the 1980s (the version now known as Ada83) through Ada95 and continuing to the present day.

After you have reviewed qualifications, I would appreciate the opportunity to meet with you for an interview. I am available at your convenience, but Fridays are best for me. I am eager to talk with you soon about a career with your company.
